GUNTHEROTH, WARREN G., AND GAY L. MULLINS. Limr and spleen as venous reservoirs. Am. J. Physiol. 204(1) : 35-41. I g63.-The diameter of the liver and spleen was measured in 37 intact unanesthetized dogs. Fright always produced vigorous contraction of the spleen but no appreciable change in the liver. Running on a treadmill caused splenic contraction in only one-half the instances. The liver usually got larger or did not change with exercise. Epinephrine caused prompt contraction of the spleen and a variable response of the liver with no change in over one-half the trials. Several other drugs produced splenic contraction, apparently through reduction of blood pressure. Hemorrhage invariably produced splenic contraction, with average volume changes of 8oj, of the total blood volume. Hemorrhage caused a gradual decrease in liver size in only one-half the animals. Hypoxia caused extremely vigorous contractions of the spleen, usually accompanied by an increase in liver size. In short, in the dog the spleen is a precisely regulated reservoir, but the liver is not. However, vigorous exercise may be initiated and maintained without contributions from either organ.

Route of administration induced in vivo effects and toxicity responses of Zinc Oxide nanorods at molecular and genetic levels
Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles have received growing attention for several biomedical applications. Nanoparticles proposed for these applications possess the potential to interact with biological components such as the blood, cells/ tissues following their administration into the body. Hence we carried out in vivo investigations in Swiss Albino Mice to understand the interaction of ZnO nanorods...
متن کاملMouse models of subcutaneous spleen reservoir for multiple portal venous injections to treat liver malignancies.
Dog and rat animal models have been developed for repeated intravascular administrations to the liver. However, mice have generally been considered too small to use for these models. This study describes the development of mouse models that permit the establishment of liver metastases that can be subsequently treated by repeated injections into the portal venous system. A mini-laparotomy is don...

Background: Cutaneous leishmaniasis is a common parasitic disease in Iran being mainly caused by Leishmania (L.) major. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of apoptosis in the spleen and liver of female mice infected with L. major.Methods: BALB/c mice were randomly assigned into the control and experimental groups (ten mice per group). The experimental groups were subcutaneo...
